What is Laser Tattoo Removal and Dermal Melasma Treatment?

Dr. Sandhu understands the relationship between your physical appearance and your self-esteem, and how an unwanted tattoo or dermal melasma can impact both. Dermal melasma is a cosmetically problematic type of hyperpigmentation that shows up in dense patches, and that is usually seen on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip and chin, as well as occasionally on other sun-exposed areas, such as the arms and chest. Unwanted tattoos are an equally ever present visual distraction that you may also go to great lengths to hide with cumbersome layers of clothing.

What are the Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal and Dermal Melasma Treatment?

Why cover up? You can feel great about how you look, thanks to expert treatment at Neem Medical Spa with the Cutera enlighten™ Laser for tattoo removal and dermal melasma. Noninvasive treatments with the Cutera enlighten™ Laser may be the key to success in restoring evenness and a natural, unblemished appearance to your skin tone.

The Cutera enlighten™ is the only laser that can safely treat melasma, and as a pico and a nano laser it can efficaciously target all colors/pigments of a tattoo with very minimal treatments.

Am I a Candidate for Dermal Melasma or Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment?

Our patients who have had their dermal melasma treated, or their unwanted tattoos removed, always remark on how liberating the experience is, to be finally free of dermal melasma or an unwanted tattoo. Schedule your consultation today, and find out if laser tattoo/dermal melasma treatment is right for you.

What is the Procedure Like for Dermal Melasma or Laser Tattoo Removal?

This noninvasive procedure begins with the application of a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort you may feel. In addition to topical anesthesia, a chiller device may be used, if necessary. The laser is skillfully moved around the treatment area, impacting cells below the surface of your skin, correcting hyperpigmentation and neutralizing tattoo ink. The enlighten™ Laser by Cutera that we use is specifically designed for tattoo removal and melasma pigment condition correction, including for age spots and sun spots.

What is the Recovery Time?

enlighten™ laser treatments are non-invasive, but different patients react differently to the treatment and you could have some very mild down time for up to seven to 10 days.

How Much Does Laser Removal Cost?

Each and every patient is unique and has specific needs, and as a result, your cost will vary. During your consultation, we will review your treatment options with you, including discussing your costs and our convenient financing options.
